What:	If you are a parent or caregiver of a child, youth or adult living with FASD we hope that you will join us. As a parent-led organization we know the importance for parents to come together with others who understand and care. This retreat is for you to enjoy a time of learning, encouragement and relaxation. You will hear information about some of the services and supports that are available to families living with FASD in Saskatchewan. Guest Speaker, Wendy Edey, of the Hope Foundation will talk about how living with hope has a positive effect on daily life and personal wellness. You will also have time to share stories of challenges and triumphs, to listen and to learn, to enjoy time away and to develop friendships and supports. We hope that you will find a way to join us at this retreat planned just for you. While we realize that finding childcare can be difficult, this event is for adults only. There is no cost to participate. Overnight accommodations are provided to out of town guests. Meals and registration are also complimentary. Please register early as space is limited. Priority will be given to residents of Saskatchewan. Registration deadline is Tuesday, October 20, 2009. "Hope work is the art of giving hope in life's difficult moments... Wherever people gather to face challenge and find a path to a positive future, that is where hope work belongs. " -Wendy
